Church, "Shopping", and Pizza

August 3^rd – Sunday

                This day had a little bit of a rough start, as far as health goes. But by the time church started we had a craft ready and were feeling okay. We made mask with the children and they were really creative and had a good time. There was left over chips from the baby shower and we gave those to the children as snack. The chips were all placed in plastic bags and some of the younger ones started coming to me and asking me to tie them shut. I thought “wow they are showing self control and saving some for later.” Well I quickly relieved that they just wanted them closed so they could smash the chips up, bite the corner off and eat the chip crumbs through the bottom.

                After snack was finished we went outside and played at the playground.

                We church was done everyone had lunch and Arielle and I both ate half a bowl of soup! At this point we were really thirsty, we ran out of water that morning, but didn’t trust the water in the big containers because the ice wasn’t filtered. So we asked a couple of the girls to walk with us to the store and buy some water. The first store we went to was closed, the girls told us it was okay and we headed out again. The second store we went to was closed, they once again assured us it was okay and we once again started walking. The third time was the charm and we found an open store and some water! We discovered there are three little house stores within walking distant of the compound. We have also adopted Tamina’s rule unless we hear the sound of it opening, we are not drinking it. 

                A little after we got back twenty of us piled into the truck and took off. We knew that eventually we were going to the grocery store so we could get stuff to make pizza. But we made a couple stops first and at each stop someone jumped out so that we came home with only eleven people. One of the stops was one of the rivers, we were having flash backs of last Sunday and the dire results, but we just let a kid out. The last stop was the grocery store and we picked up all the needed items.

                When we got home we cleaned up the main area and then started on the pizza’s. We had six dedicated helpers and by the end of the cooking time we had twelve ish pizza’s one being completely without cheese, meat and lard! Everyone enjoyed the pizza but many over ate and spent the rest of the evening holding their belly’s.

                Arielle was so excited she ate two meals today! She had half the bowl of soup and a piece of pizza. She also had a little belly going on, which made her really happy. Also we were both feeling fairly good at this point in the day.
